I have been told that UK and Irish citizens, being fellow EU member states where English is the native language, have first priority at English teaching jobs in Greece. Having said that, are there any opportunities for Americans (or Australians, Kiwis, South Africans) in Greek frontisteria? Are Schengen Visas/work permits available for this kind of work? How would I proceed? I have a B.A. but do not yet have any TEFL qualification. I understand a B.A. is the minimum the Greeks will accept. Thanks for your advice.

You are only an American, not a citizen of any EU country, but would still like to find a job teaching in Greece? I seem to find conflicting reports online. Anyone out there know how common it is for a school to hire an American and go through all the paperwork to hire them?
